INDOOR BASKETBALL
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY. MASTERTON TEAM ENTERED. Considerable interest is being taken in the first national indoor basketball championships, which are to be held at the Wellington Y.M.C. during next weekend. The following team will represent Masterton: —C. Greager, D. Leete, R. Costello, W. Reynolds, D. Milne and Mason. There will -be seven other men’s teams in the championships, representing Auckland, Hamilton, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch respectively. The teams will arrive in Wellington on the Saturday and the games will commence that evening. On the Sunday there will be a sight-seeing tour and a church, parade, and the contest will be concluded on the Monday. It is hoped that the efforts of the Masterton team will create further interest in the game in the Wairarapa, and that the knowledge which the members gain at the tournament will be used to advantage on their return. It is expected that there will be about ten teams from various business firms in the town taking part in the inter-house competition this year. Teams desiring to compete are asked to get in touch with the Y.M.C.A. as soon as possible.
